I spent the day going cleaning old wires out of a boat I bought last year. The previous owner had a blown 1987 DT140 replaced with a 1982 DT115. In the console is a Monitor Guage that is supposed to monitor oil level water flow and over rev. I found that the motor end of the cable for this Monitor Guage was not connected to anything. After some research I found that this monitor guage was first used in 1987, so I may not be able to use it with my motor.
Here's my question, is there some way I can use this with my motor, or does it lack the required senders? How can I test the warning senders that I have to verify that they work? Oil level, over temp, are there any more? I have ordered a service manual, but it won't be here for a couple of weeks.
If it turns out I can't use this, I will have a guage and 21 ft cable in good shape if anyone needes it.
Thanks in advance
